Rend vs Soul Calibur
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
Soul Calibur
Soul Calibur is a pretty generic casual MMORPG that you can play directly on your browser. In this game, you’ll play as one of four heroes who set off to save the world. As you battle various monsters and bosses, you’ll gain the materials you need to enhance your gear, improve your companions, and even bolster your stats. There are tons of PvE and PvP events for you to enjoy, and you can also join forces with the other players in your clan to take down formidable foes.For a game that’s in its Alpha development stage, Soul Calibur is a pretty decent browser MMO, but when it comes to uniqueness, well, let’s just say that Soul Calibur won’t be winning any prizes. Anyway, if casual MMOs are your thing, then, you might want to check this game out. After all, the world is just about to be overrun by monsters and you, being the wielder of the powerful soul calibur, are the people’s only hope!
